Tangentially related question, what are the most successful products built around browser extensions? I sometime have ideas that would require browser extensions, but it feels like the target market must be computer literate for any chance or success (no mobile support for example).
- rejectfinite 4y agoThere seem to be a lot of those chrome video recording/school ones, like Loom. Seems like a lot of schools use it to record lessons. Being on Chromebooks I would think they are used to installing extensions, if allowed! Usually that is on a whitelist basis. Do not know how much money it brings in though.
- wongarsu 4y agoIt depends on your definition of success, but the list is bound to include Adblock, Grammarly, Honey and some password manager. And at least Grammarly and Honey are not specifically targeted at computer literate people.
- vood 4y agoTake a look at Grammarly. A decacorn chrome extension
- lerchmo 4y agoHoney was primarily a browser extension. 4 billion exit
- llanowarelves 4y agoRakuten (formerly Ebates). Fakespot and Bubbles have raised millions. Will see how they go
- BadCookie 4y agoPossibly Pinterest. I am not sure if the browser extension was 100% necessary for Pinterest to succeed, but I remember it being part of the new user sign-up flow, at least at one point.
